CURRENT MISSION

Live as fully as possible and enjoy the things life throws at me. I love working in the museum field. As an emerging scholar and hopeful grad student, I am doing my best to juggle all the amazing opportunities I have with work, family, and friends.

ABOUT ME

I'm a Navajo woman and a recent Notre Dame graduate. I am an independent art history scholar with a focus on Native contemporary art. I enjoy infusing my life with culture, people, art, music, and traveling. I recently finished up an amazing fellowship at the Minnesota History Center and will hopefully be starting another at the Minneapolis Institute of Art.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I live in Gainesville, FL (for the moment). I haven't used Couchsurfing in many years (since 2011) but I am looking forward to starting again now that I am back on the conference trail and will be starting a grad program soon (hopefully).

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I started my Couchsurfing experience when I was stranded in Detroit, Michigan after I missed my bus. It was a rough 4-5 hours but luckily the Couchsurfing community was more than welcoming and helpful. Since then I've been involved in traveling and being hosted by various couch surfers. I would love to get more involved and host as soon as I am able.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've traveled to Cuba! Not many people can say they've been so I always enjoy talking about my experiences while I was studying health and agriculture there.

Teach, Learn, Share

Native people are still here! We have lived on this land since time immemorial and it is my passion to work towards Indigenous rights and justice

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am very friendly, conversational, and outgoing. I love to meet new folks and explore new cities. I always try to bring a thank you card or gift, when I use Couchsurfing too :)
